Informit Media enables you to search, browse, track and be alerted to television events and programs.
Informit Media is to television what full-text databases are to journals. It will revolutionise the way you use broadcast media. For the first time, Informit Media allows you to thoroughly search broadcast content and access it conveniently and rapidly.
Informit Media consists of two databases, TVNews and RequestTV, which are hosted on the Informit service and are cross-searchable with other resources in a library's collection. TVNews indexes the majority of TV news stories, current affairs and documentary series broadcast on Australian television. Individual stories may be downloaded to the desktop in a compressed video format and/or be ordered for DVD delivery. RequestTV is an index of all television programs and provides the facility to order a DVD copy.
Informit Media is a breakthrough service as it seamlessly integrates into a library's electronic collection and may be accessed via existing and familiar interfaces, including federated search interfaces.
Access to downloads are available to institutions that have a Screenrights licence and participate in the sampling scheme. Other users will have access to DVD orders.
